Fire Door Signs

Fire door signs are important visual indicators placed on or near fire doors to convey essential information about their purpose and operation. The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides guidelines and regulations regarding fire safety, including requirements for appropriate fire door signage. Examples of fire door signs include "Fire Door Keep Shut" signs, which serve as a clear reminder for building occupants to keep fire doors closed at all times, and "Fire Door Do Not Obstruct" signs, which emphasise the importance of keeping fire doors free from obstructions or blockages. 

It is crucial not to obstruct fire doors in a building to ensure they can effectively serve their purpose during a fire. Fire doors are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building, providing vital protection for occupants and allowing for safe evacuation. Obstructing or propping open fire doors compromises their ability to contain fire and smoke, which can have serious consequences for the safety of individuals within the building. By adhering to the instructions provided by fire door signs and ensuring that fire doors are kept shut and unobstructed, building occupants can contribute to maintaining a secure and fire-resistant environment.
